Poem structure/language/sound question! please help
The following poem is called "Faces" by Gary Soto. I have some questions I need help with:
What's the form structure, language and sound? Thanks in advance!
With a pen, I drew little faces
On your fingertips, ten in all,
And you said, “You love me, huh?”
They were happy faces.\
You showed them to your
Friend, who laughed,
Clapped, and said,
“Wow, you’re so lucky, girl.”
That was between third
And fourth period,
And by the fifth period-
I don’t know how
This happened-I fell
In love with this other
Girl, a musician who
Plays first violin in orchestra.
You and I met after school.
I kicked leaves, bit
My upper and lower lip
A hundred times,
And then confessed,
“You know Rebecca. . .”
You made a face, cried.
You raised your hands
And wiggled the fingertips
At me-the ink had run.
Each little face
Was sobbing, dropping
Little black tears
